The program can begin with a user logging into a processing device, such as, for example, the processing device 100 or the processing device 128 (act 202). Next, the processing device can determine whether to perform a protective service (act 204). These protective services include anti-virus services, security patch management services, firewall protection or other protective services, but are not limited to this. If the processing device determines that none of the protective services are When executed or executed, the processing device can automatically initiate the non-operational or executed protective services (act 206).
接著,該處理裝置可決定該處理裝置是否經組態設定以自動地接收對於系統軟體的更新(動作208)。若該處理裝置並未經組態設定以自動地接收對於系統軟體的更新,則該處理裝置可自我組態設定以自動地接收對於系統軟體的更新(動作210)。The processing device can then determine if the processing device is configured to automatically receive updates to the system software (act 208). If the processing device is not configured to automatically receive updates to the system software, the processing device can self-configure to automatically receive updates to the system software (act 210).
然後,該處理裝置可決定在先前對話裡所進行之先前變化是否應予永留(動作212)。該等先前變化可既已受該處理裝置所監視,並且可包含由一使用者或一應用程式在先前對話過程中所進行的系統檔案變化、使用者檔案變化、BIOS設定值變化或其他變化。在一些具體實施例裡,可將表示對系統檔案、使用者檔案、BIOS設定值或其他資料所進行之先前變化而經儲存在一第一儲存裝置上的超資料或其他資訊儲存在一分別的儲存裝置上。在一替代性具體實施例裡,不以將該超資料儲存於該分別的儲存裝置上,而是可將該超資料儲存在該第一儲存裝置之一特定區段內。The processing device can then determine if the previous changes made in the previous conversation should be persisted (act 212). Such prior changes may be monitored by the processing device and may include system file changes, user profile changes, BIOS setpoint changes, or other changes made by a user or an application during a previous session. In some embodiments, super-data or other information stored on a first storage device, representing prior changes to system files, user profiles, BIOS settings, or other data, may be stored in a separate On the storage device. In an alternative embodiment, the super data is not stored on the separate storage device, but the super data may be stored in a particular segment of the first storage device.
若該處理裝置決定不應永留該等先前變化,則該處理裝置可撤銷該等變化,使得能夠將該等處理系統檔案、使用者等檔案、BIOS設定值或其他變化復原或轉回(rollback)至個別的變化前狀態(動作214)。在一些具體實施例裡,若該等先前變化含有未經授權變化,或是可能引入不穩定性或壞劣組態的變化,則該處理裝置可決定不永留該等先 前變化。在一些具體實施例裡,一使用者,例如像是一系統管理者,可組態設定該處理裝置以接受對系統檔案、使用者檔案、BIOS設定值所進行之變化或是其他變化,然這些變化在當該使用者再度登入時、當該使用者登出時、當該處理裝置關機時,或是當該處理裝置啟動或開機啟動時則自動地予以拋除。If the processing device determines that the previous changes should not be retained forever, the processing device may revoke the changes so that the processing system files, users, etc. files, BIOS settings, or other changes can be restored or rolled back. To an individual pre-change state (act 214). In some embodiments, if the prior changes contain unauthorized changes, or changes in instability or poor configuration may be introduced, the processing device may decide not to stay for the first time. Pre-change. In some embodiments, a user, such as, for example, a system administrator, can configure the processing device to accept changes to system files, user profiles, BIOS settings, or other changes. The change is automatically discarded when the user logs in again, when the user logs out, when the processing device is turned off, or when the processing device is booted or powered on.
接著該處理裝置可監視對該處理裝置所進行的變化,例如像是系統檔案變化、使用者檔案變化、BIOS設定值變化或是其他變化(動作216)。The processing device can then monitor changes made to the processing device, such as system file changes, user file changes, BIOS settings changes, or other changes (act 216).
而在稍後某時點處,該使用者可請求登出該處理裝置,或者可將該處理裝置關機(動作218;第2B圖)。接著,該處理裝置可決定該是否永留該等受監視變化(動作220)。若該處理裝置決定不應永留該等所監視變化,則該處理裝置可撤銷該等變化,使得能夠將該等處理系統檔案、使用者等檔案、BIOS設定值或其他變化復原或轉回至個別的變化前狀態(動作222)。At some point later, the user may request to log out of the processing device or may shut down the processing device (act 218; Figure 2B). The processing device can then determine whether to persist the monitored changes (act 220). If the processing device determines that the monitored changes should not be retained forever, the processing device can revoke the changes so that the processing system files, user files, BIOS settings, or other changes can be restored or transferred back to the individual The pre-change state (act 222).
接著,該處理裝置可決定是否請求一使用者登出或一處理裝置關機(動作224)。若請求一使用者登出,則可將該使用者登出(動作228)。若請求一處理裝置關機,則可將該處理裝置關機(動作226)。Next, the processing device can determine whether to request a user to log out or a processing device to shut down (act 224). If a user is requested to log out, the user can be logged out (act 228). If a processing device is requested to shut down, the processing device can be shut down (act 226).
第3圖係一流程圖,其中說明一在符合於本揭示之主題項目的具體實施例裡維護一處理裝置之穩定性的示範性程序。該程序可開始於一處理裝置,例如像是該處理裝置100或該處理裝置128,而開機載入該作業系統(動作 300)。然後,該處理裝置可決定該作業系統的開機載入是否為該作業系統的第一次開機載入(動作302)。若此為該作業系統的第一次開機載入,則該處理裝置可決定該作業系統的第一次開機載入是否成功(動作304)。若該作業系統的第一次開機載入並不成功,則該處理裝置可利用工廠復原資料,其中可含有工廠預設設定值,以嘗試將該處理裝置復原至一操作狀態。在一些具體實施例裡,該工廠復原資料可為儲存在一分別於該儲存裝置的儲存裝置內,藉以復原系統檔案、使用者資料及BIOS設定值。Figure 3 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary procedure for maintaining the stability of a processing device in a particular embodiment consistent with the subject matter of the present disclosure. The program can begin with a processing device, such as the processing device 100 or the processing device 128, and boot the operating system (action) 300). The processing device can then determine if the boot load of the operating system is the first boot load of the operating system (act 302). If this is the first boot load of the operating system, the processing device can determine if the first boot load of the operating system was successful (act 304). If the first boot load of the operating system is not successful, the processing device may utilize factory restoration data, which may contain factory preset settings to attempt to restore the processing device to an operational state. In some embodiments, the factory recovery data may be stored in a storage device separately from the storage device to restore system files, user data, and BIOS settings.
若該作業系統的第一次開機載入為成功,則該處理裝置可將系統設定值,例如像是BIOS設定值或是其他的系統設定值,備份至一儲存裝置,例如像是一備份儲存裝置或是其他的儲存裝置(動作306)。然後,該處理裝置可再將例如像是系統檔案的檔案備份至該儲存裝置。接下來,該處理裝置可對檔案系統修改事件進行監視,藉以保持追蹤任何檔案系統變化(動作310)。接著,一使用者可結束一對話,例如登出該處理裝置或是將該處理裝置關機(動作312)。If the first booting of the operating system is successful, the processing device can back up system settings, such as BIOS settings or other system settings, to a storage device, such as a backup storage device. The device or other storage device (act 306). The processing device can then back up files such as system files to the storage device. Next, the processing device can monitor the file system modification event to keep track of any file system changes (act 310). Next, a user can end a conversation, such as logging out of the processing device or shutting down the processing device (act 312).
而在動作302過程中,若該處理裝置決定該作業系統的開機載入並非該作業系統的第一次開機載入,則該處理裝置可藉由一組最後已知的工作系統設定值(動作314)以同步化系統設定值,例如像是BIOS設定值,或是其他的設定值。如此,可將該組最後已知的工作系統設定值加以更新,俾反映出新的系統設定值。In the process of action 302, if the processing device determines that the boot load of the operating system is not the first boot load of the operating system, the processing device may be set by a set of last known working system settings (action 314) Synchronize the system settings, such as, for example, BIOS settings, or other settings. In this way, the last known working system settings of the group can be updated to reflect the new system settings.
然後,該處理裝置可將系統檔案同步化於所備份的檔案(動作316)。按此方式,可對所備份檔案進行更新。接著,該使用者可登入該處理裝置(動作318)。該處理裝置可向該使用者提示有關是否應將使用者檔案復原至一前次對話開始時所存在的狀態(動作320)。然後,該處理裝置可根據使用者對該提示的回應以決定是否應復原使用者檔案(動作322)。若不須復原使用者檔案,則該處理裝置可儲存使用者修改檔案之一備份拷貝(動作324),並且該處理裝置可監視檔案系統修改事件,藉此保持追蹤任何檔案系統變化(動作310)。然後,該使用者可例如藉由登出該處理裝置,或是將該處理裝置關機,以結束該對話(動作312)。The processing device can then synchronize the system files to the backed up files (act 316). In this way, the backed up files can be updated. The user can then log into the processing device (act 318). The processing device can prompt the user as to whether the user profile should be restored to a state that existed at the beginning of the previous conversation (act 320). The processing device can then determine whether the user profile should be restored based on the user's response to the prompt (act 322). If the user profile does not need to be restored, the processing device can store a backup copy of the user modified file (act 324), and the processing device can monitor the file system modification event, thereby keeping track of any file system changes (act 310). . The user can then end the conversation, for example by logging out of the processing device or shutting down the processing device (act 312).
在動作322的過程中,若該處理裝置決定應將使用者檔案復原至該等在前次對話開始時所存在的狀態,則該處理裝置可顯示出一於前次對話過程中所修改之使用者檔案的列表(動作326),並且該處理裝置可自一備份拷貝復原該等使用者檔案(動作328)。然後該處理裝置可執行動作310及312。In the process of act 322, if the processing device determines that the user profile should be restored to the state that existed at the beginning of the previous session, the processing device may display a modified use during the previous session. A list of profiles (act 326), and the processing device can restore the user profiles from a backup copy (act 328). The processing device can then perform acts 310 and 312.
第4圖係一示範性程序之流程圖,此者可由一符合於本揭示之主題項目的處理裝置執行。第4圖所述之示範性程序可提供一復原服務,藉以將該處理裝置復原至一穩定狀態,並且將經使用者修改之檔案復原至一先前狀態。Figure 4 is a flow diagram of an exemplary process that may be performed by a processing device consistent with the subject matter of the present disclosure. The exemplary procedure described in FIG. 4 can provide a recovery service whereby the processing device is restored to a steady state and the user modified file is restored to a previous state.
該程序可開始於該處理裝置開機載入該作業系統(動作402)。然後,該處理裝置可自動地決定該作業系統的開 機載入是否失效(動作404)。若該作業系統的開機載入失效,則該處理裝置可自一備份以自動地拷貝或復原一或更多的經修改系統檔案(動作406)。該處理裝置可接著嘗試重新開機啟動該作業系統(動作408)。然後,該處理裝置可自動地決定該作業系統的重新開機載入是否失效(動作410)。該作業系統的重新開機載入失效,則該處理裝置可自一備份以自動地拷貝或復原系統設定值,例如像是BIOS設定值、系統檔案或是其他的系統設定值(動作412)。接著,該處理裝置可嘗試該作業系統的另一次開機啟動(動作414)。然後,該處理裝置可自動地決定該作業系統的其他開機載入是否失效(動作416)。若該作業系統的其他開機載入失效,則該處理裝置執行一完整的系統復原作業(動作417)。在一些具體實施例裡,該完整系統復原可利用工廠復原資料以復原該處理裝置,此資料可為儲存在一分別於用以儲存系統設定值、系統檔案及使用者資料之儲存裝置的儲存裝置上。The program can begin with the processing device booting up to load the operating system (act 402). Then, the processing device can automatically determine the opening of the operating system Whether the machine load fails (act 404). If the boot load of the operating system fails, the processing device can automatically copy or restore one or more modified system files from a backup (act 406). The processing device can then attempt to restart the operating system (act 408). The processing device can then automatically determine if the reboot of the operating system has failed (act 410). If the operating system's reboot load fails, the processing device can automatically copy or restore system settings, such as, for example, BIOS settings, system files, or other system settings (act 412). Next, the processing device can attempt another startup of the operating system (act 414). The processing device can then automatically determine if other boot loads of the operating system have failed (act 416). If the other boot load of the operating system fails, the processing device performs a complete system restore operation (act 417). In some embodiments, the complete system recovery may utilize factory recovery data to restore the processing device, the data being stored in a storage device for storing storage system settings, system files and user data. on.
若該處理裝置決定該作業系統的開機載入為成功,則在動作404、410或416處,一使用者可接著登入該處理裝置(動作418)。而在登入該處理裝置之後,該處理裝置可向該使用者提示有關於使用者是否想要自一前次對話進行檔案復原(動作420)。接著,該處理裝置可根據在動作420過程中提示而由該使用者所提供之回應,決定該使用者是否想要進行檔案復原(動作422)。在一些具體實施例裡,並非所有的使用者皆可經授權以執行所有操作,例如像是 檔案復原或其他操作。例如,有些使用者,像是管理者,可為經授權以利用工廠復原資料復原該處理裝置,而其他使用者則可經授權以復原不應有所變更的使用者設定值及使用者檔案和系統檔案。在此等具體實施例裡,不會向未經授權進行檔案復原的使用者提示有關於檔案復原作業的事項。If the processing device determines that the boot load of the operating system is successful, then at act 404, 410 or 416, a user can then log into the processing device (act 418). After logging in to the processing device, the processing device can prompt the user whether the user wants to perform file recovery from a previous conversation (act 420). Next, the processing device can determine whether the user wants to perform file recovery based on the response provided by the user during the prompt in action 420 (act 422). In some embodiments, not all users may be authorized to perform all operations, such as File recovery or other operations. For example, some users, such as administrators, may be authorized to use factory recovery data to restore the processing device, while other users may be authorized to restore user settings and user profiles that should not be changed. System file. In these specific embodiments, the user who is not authorized to perform file recovery is not prompted to have a file recovery operation.
若該使用者並未表示應進行檔案復原,則該處理裝置可藉一使用者檔案的備份拷貝以同步化在一前次對話過程中所修改的使用者檔案(動作424)。然後,該處理裝置可監視檔案系統修改事件,這些可包含有關於產生一新檔案、刪除一新檔案或式者修改一檔案的事件,然不限於此(動作426)。然後,該使用者可例如藉由登出該處理裝置,或是將該處理裝置關機,以結束一對話(動作428)。If the user does not indicate that file recovery should be performed, the processing device may utilize a backup copy of the user profile to synchronize the user profile modified during a previous session (act 424). The processing device can then monitor the file system modification event, which can include an event relating to generating a new file, deleting a new file, or modifying a file, but is not limited thereto (act 426). The user can then end a conversation, for example by logging out of the processing device or shutting down the processing device (act 428).
而在動作422的過程中,若該處理裝置決定應將來自該前次對話之檔案加以復原,則該處理裝置可顯示出一在前次對話過程中經修改之使用者檔案的列表(動作430)。然後,該處理裝置可自一備份復原所列出的檔案(動作432)。接著,該處理裝置可監視該等檔案系統修改事件,例如像是增加一新使用者檔案、修訂現有使用者檔案、刪除使用者檔案或是其他的檔案系統修改事件(動作426)。然後,該使用者可例如藉由登出該處理裝置,或是將該處理裝置關機,以結束該對話(動作428)。In the process of act 422, if the processing device determines that the file from the previous session should be restored, the processing device may display a list of modified user profiles during the previous session (act 430). ). The processing device can then restore the listed files from a backup (act 432). The processing device can then monitor the file system modification events, such as, for example, adding a new user profile, modifying an existing user profile, deleting a user profile, or other file system modification event (act 426). The user can then end the conversation, for example by logging out of the processing device or shutting down the processing device (act 428).
第5圖係一流程圖,其中說明可在符合於本揭示之主題項目的處理裝置之具體實施例裡執行的另一示範性程 序。首先,該處理裝置可開機載入該作業系統(動作502)。在開機載入該作業系統之後,該處理裝置可監視效能(動作504)。例如,該處理裝置可監視一磁碟片段化水準、一經設定之分頁檔案大小、記憶體使用狀態或是其他的效能測度值。其次,該處理裝置可決定是否滿足一或更多的效能情況(動作506),並且若滿足該等一或更多的效能情況,則該處理裝置可自動地執行一動作以改善效能(動作508)。該處理裝置決定並未滿足一或更多的效能情況,則該處理裝置可重複動作504及506。Figure 5 is a flow diagram illustrating another exemplary process that may be performed in a particular embodiment of a processing device consistent with the subject matter of the present disclosure. sequence. First, the processing device can boot into the operating system (act 502). The processing device can monitor performance after booting the operating system (act 504). For example, the processing device can monitor a disk fragmentation level, a set paged file size, a memory usage state, or other performance measure values. Second, the processing device can determine whether one or more performance conditions are met (act 506), and if the one or more performance conditions are met, the processing device can automatically perform an action to improve performance (act 508) ). The processing device may repeat actions 504 and 506 if the processing device determines that one or more performance conditions are not met.
如一範例般,該處理裝置可決定該磁碟片段化為高於像是10%,或另一百分比值,的某一水準。若該磁碟片段化高於該某一水準,則該處理裝置可自動地執行一動作以改善效能,像是去片段化作業。即如另一範例,若該處理裝置決定記憶體使用情況高於某一水準,則該處理裝置可決定一或更多佔用記憶體空間的應用程式,以及很少使用的應用程式。在此情況下,該處理裝置可自動地從記憶體中移除該等應用程式,或者該處理裝置可提示使用者有關於是否應自記憶體中移除該等應用程式。As an example, the processing device can determine that the disk is fragmented to a level above 10%, or another percentage value. If the disk is fragmented above the certain level, the processing device can automatically perform an action to improve performance, such as deframing the job. That is, as another example, if the processing device determines that the memory usage is above a certain level, the processing device may determine one or more applications occupying memory space and applications that are rarely used. In this case, the processing device can automatically remove the applications from the memory, or the processing device can prompt the user whether the applications should be removed from the memory.
第6A-6B圖為流程圖,該等說明一可在一處理裝置之具體實施例中實作的示範性程序,其中可在一對話過程裡按逐應用程式之方式監視對一或更多檔案所進行的變化。首先,一使用者可登入該處理裝置(動作602)。其次,該處理裝置可按一逐應用程式方式對檔案系統修改作業進行監視(動作604)。若該處理裝置決定一檔案或目錄既經刪 除(動作606),則可將該經刪除檔案或目錄儲存在一媒體的臨時儲存區域內,並且可將一項目記錄在該臨時儲存區域裡,以供儲存對於經刪除之檔案或目錄的資訊。若該處理裝置決定既已新增一檔案或目錄(動作606),則可由該處理裝置將一對於該檔案或目錄之路徑記錄在該臨時儲存區域內(動作612)。若該處理裝置決定既已自一檔案刪除該資料(動作614),則該處理裝置可將該經刪除資料搬移至該臨時儲存區域(動作616)。若該處理裝置決定既已將該資料新增至一檔案(動作618),則可將該新增資料在該檔案之內的位移記錄在該臨時儲存區域裡(動作620)。6A-6B are flow diagrams illustrating an exemplary process that can be implemented in a particular embodiment of a processing device in which one or more files can be monitored on an application-by-application basis during a session. The changes made. First, a user can log into the processing device (act 602). Second, the processing device can monitor the file system modification job in an application-by-application manner (act 604). If the processing device determines that a file or directory has been deleted In addition to (act 606), the deleted file or directory may be stored in a temporary storage area of the medium, and an item may be recorded in the temporary storage area for storing information about the deleted file or directory. . If the processing device determines that a file or directory has been added (ACT 606), a path to the file or directory may be recorded by the processing device in the temporary storage area (act 612). If the processing device determines that the data has been deleted from a file (act 614), the processing device can move the deleted data to the temporary storage area (act 616). If the processing device determines that the data has been added to a file (act 618), the displacement of the new data within the file may be recorded in the temporary storage area (act 620).
接著,該使用者可結束一對話,例如登出該處理裝置或是將該處理裝置關機(第6B圖;動作622)。然後,該處理裝置可向該使用者提示是否拋除個別應用程式在該對話過程中所進行的變化(動作624)。在一替代性具體實施例裡,一系統管理者,或其他使用者,可組態設定該處理裝置以總是拋除由個別應用程式在該對話過程中所進行的變化。然後,該處理裝置可根據該使用者對該提示的回應決定是否應拋除該等變化(動作626)。若不應拋除該等變化,則可利用經記錄在該臨時儲存區域之內有關於該等變化的資訊以永留該等變化(動作644)。The user can then end a conversation, such as logging out of the processing device or shutting down the processing device (FIG. 6B; action 622). The processing device can then prompt the user whether to discard the changes made by the individual application during the conversation (act 624). In an alternate embodiment, a system administrator, or other user, can configure the processing device to always discard changes made by individual applications during the conversation. The processing device can then determine whether the changes should be discarded based on the user's response to the prompt (act 626). If such changes are not to be discarded, information about the changes recorded in the temporary storage area may be utilized to preserve the changes (act 644).
而在動作626的過程中,若該處理裝置決定應拋除由個別應用程式在該對話過程中所進行的該等變化,則該處理裝置可決定該等變化之任一者是否包含刪除一檔案或一目錄(動作628)。若該等變化包含刪除一檔案或一目錄, 則該處理裝置可將該檔案或目錄,此者係經儲存在該臨時儲存區域之內,搬移回到其原始位置(動作630)。接著,該處理裝置可決定該等變化是否包含新增一檔案或一目錄(動作632)。若是,則該處理裝置可刪除該由在動作612過程中經記錄在該臨時儲存區域內之項目所指向的檔案或目錄(動作634)。然後,該處理裝置可決定該等變化是否包含自一檔案所刪除的資料(動作636)。若是,則該處理裝置可將所儲存的經刪除資料自該臨時儲存區域移回到該檔案(動作638)。然後,該處理裝置可決定該等變化是否包含經新增至一檔案的資料(動作640)。若是,則該處理裝置可利用(在動作620過程中)經記錄在該臨時儲存區域之內的位移以刪除經新增至該檔案的資料。In the course of act 626, if the processing device determines that the changes made by the individual application during the session should be discarded, the processing device can determine whether any of the changes include deleting a file. Or a directory (act 628). If the changes include deleting a file or a directory, The processing device can then store the file or directory, which is stored within the temporary storage area, and moved back to its original location (act 630). Next, the processing device can determine whether the changes include adding a new file or a directory (act 632). If so, the processing device can delete the file or directory pointed to by the item recorded in the temporary storage area during act 612 (act 634). The processing device can then determine if the changes include material deleted from an archive (act 636). If so, the processing device can move the stored deleted data from the temporary storage area back to the file (act 638). The processing device can then determine if the changes include data added to a file (act 640). If so, the processing device can utilize (during act 620) the displacement recorded within the temporary storage area to delete the data added to the file.
第7A及7B圖說明一示範性程序之流程圖,此者可在一符合於本揭示之主題項目的處理裝置具體實施例中所實作。可在當按下或選定一恢復按鍵或開關時執行該程序。首先,一使用者可登入該處理裝置(動作702)。該使用者可選定或按下該處理裝置之一恢復按鍵(動作704)。按下或選定該恢復按鍵可令以將一信號發送至該處理裝置之一處理器,藉此令該處理裝置向該使用者提示復原類型(動作706)。在此示範性具體實施例裡,該等復原類型可包含:系統檔案復原;資料檔案復原;將處理裝置復原至工廠預設;以及拋除或永留對話變化。在其他具體實施例裡,可納入額外或不同的復原類型。7A and 7B illustrate a flow chart of an exemplary process that can be implemented in a particular embodiment of a processing device consistent with the subject matter of the present disclosure.
